Workshop description
Are you interested in refining your teaching in a small setting with feedback from peers? If so, you will want to join the Instructional Skills Development Workshop program. Over three days, through an experiential learning-centered instructional program, you will engage with theme sessions followed by teaching 10-minute mini-lessons to peer colleagues.
The program is designed to expand your reflective practice, enhance your teaching, and develop your feedback skills. The underlying principles of the workshop are participatory learning, diversity of learning, adult learning, and the building of learning communities in classrooms.
The workshop is a forum for peer-based instructional development designed to strengthen instructors' skills through intensive, yet practical exercises in learning-centered teaching. Mixing small and large group interaction, the workshop will engage participants in:
- Generating effective feedback and discussion
- Planning and delivering “10-minute lessons"
- Developing participatory instructional techniques
- Listening actively
- Learning and teaching collaboratively
Advanced Preparation
For this workshop, you are required to prepare in advance a 10mins lesson for micro teaching which you will need to deliver on Day 1.
